Ezra 10:2-5
English Standard Version
2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: (A)“We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this. 3 Therefore (B)let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and (C)their children, according to the counsel of my lord[a] and of (D)those who tremble at the commandment of our God, and let it be done (E)according to the Law. 4 Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; (F)be strong and do it.” 5 Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel (G)take an oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath.
